I will go in order eh?
Monday I cut my finger open playing a game known to the
Polys. Pani. You stack cans, knock them down, while they other team is doing a
bit of dodgeball to get you out. Luckily, we asked for band-aids the night
before. Inspired thinking?!!!! I also saw this guy who gave me bananas a while
back. He gave me free socks. They say Hurricanes on them. He just knows my
sockiness (no pun intended). It was at that time we were met by this guy from
Peru. He talked to us a long while. He started by saying he knows Joseph Smith
was very charismatic. He said that if he were to live longer, then this church
would be the biggest. Well then he talked of how Brigham was very organized.
Well after talking this all up, he goes to the Book of Mormon, and says that
the Mayans and Incans have no relation to the Lamanites. Well long-story short,
we missed our bus, and had to take another, which was the cause for much more
walking.
Thursday, I was on an exchange with E. Court. We tete'ed
kasva for a while. Well I saw that one of the guys was bleeding on his leg. I
thought, how clumsy. Well, it never occurred to me that I was bleeding in the
same place.
Friday, we waited a long time for the ZLs to drop us some
baptism clothing. Well they said they would be there, so we waited...... and
waited..... Well, this was annoying cause we ended up waiting an extra 3 hours
for them. They gave no call to say they could not make it, so no work got done
Friday. We came to the conclusion that they were not coming, so we went to
Dinner. Well they forgot, so we returned. Well this random taxi driver decided
to give us a ride, and he stopped halfway. Well outside we saw, the parents of
the family for our dinner appointment. By this time it is 8:10, so we can not
go back to Vuci. When he noticed me waving, he had a heart-attack almost. (to
put it in perspective, if Fijians do not be friendly, or do not give us good
hospitality, they say their blessings stop.) They ended up giving us 10
dollars, and I made this Pasta out of what we had out the house. No idea what I
was doing, but it ended up being one of the best things I ate here......
Saturday, we went around to the various people telling them
of the Relief Society party. I took a video of a kid trying to bathe the dog,
it was way funny. He tried to tie a clothe at first, but the dog kept lying down,
and biting the clothe. Well once it was on, the kid tried to pull the dog only
for the dog to scare him.... I have a video, but I can not send that over email....
Later that evening the ZLs showed up to give us the
baptismal clothes. We gave them some food before they left. (No hard feelings
hahahaha) We filled up the font for the baptism the next morning,
we got a good number of non-members to attend the party.
Sunday was the baptisms! I had to conduct the meeting. I now
can for sure say that I can conduct a full meeting in Fijian, cause I did it!
My finger cut. My leg got cut by kasava. It happens all the time!
Hurricane socks
This is the Young womens camp book. The picture on the left
